Getting a broken leg or arm can impede your workout since the injured limb is likely to be immobilized so that it can heal. While you can still do arm curls or leg extensions on the healthy limb, your injured one does not get the same benefits.

Research in the past 120 years has yielded some promising investigations in reducing the risk of losing strength and increasing recovery rate of the injured limb.
